Chapter 369 Live on with Resilience

This year's music festival is absurd.

It's absurd that almost all the major awards belong to the same person. Whether they were nominated or shortlisted, these artists are all full of resentment.

Yes, they admit that Fusheng's work is quite good, but the problem is that awarding all the prizes to Fusheng is a slap in the face to those of them who are determined to win the prizes.

In their view, since the creative team has awarded all the awards to the same person, why bother announcing the nominees? What's the point of having a nomination process?

Just let them know before the award ceremony, and they can save the cost of a plane ticket!

Not to mention these overseas artists, even artists from mainland China couldn't understand this bizarre move. They felt that either they were dreaming or the music festival's creators had gone mad!

"How exactly did you do that?"

Feeling the gazes focused on him from all directions, and these gazes were anything but friendly, even Charles secretly swallowed hard at this moment.

"You mean this?"

While munching on a grape, Lin Rui pointed to the two carts next to him, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

Watching this guy's actions, as if he were shopping for goods in a supermarket, Charles's lips twitched violently: "Yes!"

This answer was almost delivered through gritted teeth.

"I don't know either. Shouldn't this be a question for the organizers? They insisted on giving it to me, so I had no choice but to go up on stage to receive it."

At this point, Lin Rui couldn't help but hum, "It's not entirely fair. Actually, there are three film music awards that should have been given to me."

That's really unfair!

You're right!

But everyone can say this, except you!

You've won over a hundred trophies, and you have the nerve to call that unfair?

Does it have to be that you get all the trophies for it to be considered fair and just?!

"Next, please welcome Mr. Lin Rui from China to the stage."

Everyone turned to look at Lin Rui, but this time there was not much hostility, but rather a hint of amusement.

This time, I'm not going on stage to receive an award; it's for a performance.

Now that we've reached the latter half of the music festival, the winners will be taking the stage one by one.

Lin Rui won over a hundred awards at once, and everyone wanted to know what kind of performance he planned to give in response to this amazing win.

They're not the only ones watching right now; everyone who follows the music festival is watching too.

"I'll keep an eye on it for you. Don't worry, no one will steal your crystal trophy."

Charles looked at Lin Rui with a teasing expression.

Lin Rui ignored the guy, walked directly onto the stage, and took out a USB drive from his pocket and handed it to Michelle.

Michelle understood, then handed the USB drive to a staff member not far away and whispered a few words to him.

The staff member nodded and gestured to the backstage area. Immediately afterward, the lift on the stage started, and a grand piano slowly rose up.

Lin Rui calmly walked to the piano. At that moment, many people suddenly remembered that Lin Rui was a genuine piano master!

As they gently stroked the piano keys and watched Lin Rui's actions on camera, Christie, Constantine, and the others all looked serious. Was it inappropriate for him to play the piano at this moment?

After all, responding to over a hundred awards with just a piano piece could very well backfire.

"Are they trying to get away with using classical music?"

Trump curled his lip, a mocking expression on his face.

On the giant screen, no information about the work appeared, but the sound of a cello suddenly came from the audience.

At that moment, everyone felt a sense of sadness and gloom.

At the same time, Lin Rui's fingers gently pressed the black and white keys in front of him.

The piano piece he chose this time was "Croatian Rhapsody," but he made some minor modifications to the original.

The eerie and melancholic atmosphere created by the cello had not dissipated; it remained as a relatively loud background sound, leading everyone to guess that this was the accompaniment on the USB drive that Lin Rui had provided earlier.

At this moment, sadness still dominates the mood, but as Lin Rui's rhythm on the black and white keys gradually quickens, this sadness gains an oppressive feel, as if it might collapse at any moment.

About half a minute later, the pace suddenly quickened.

The sense of desolation intensified, and at that moment, many people envisioned scenes of an impending storm.

The sky was covered with dark clouds.

There are hillsides where loose rocks keep falling.

There were burning plants and trees.

The earth shows signs of cracking.

There were also houses that were swaying slightly.

They seem different, yet they are the same.

This is the realm!

Everyone present felt something extraordinary!

Just as everyone was getting into the music, Lin Rui lightly stepped on the pedal with his left foot, his shoulders shifted noticeably, and his ten fingers began to run wild on the piano keys!

The melody suddenly sped up!

The rhythm of the melody also became more rapid!

At this moment, different scenes flashed through the minds of the people present.

The sea is roaring!

A thunderclap exploded!

The wind is howling!

The flames are spreading!

The ground is collapsing!

High-rise buildings are collapsing!

Flash floods are breaking out!

disaster!

These natural disasters have caused immense panic and left behind a scene of devastation!

The ship was capsized while sailing!

The houses were blown apart by the strong winds!

The forest, engulfed in flames, has been reduced to scorched earth!

The city was reduced to ruins by the earthquake!

The village was submerged by the flash flood!

The artists present were deeply moved, and a few even had tears in their eyes.

Because the scenes that appeared in their minds were the homeland where they once lived, where they had personally experienced the malice of nature, and where their relatives had died in the disaster, forever separated from them!

Lin Rui's hand speed increased again, and the rhythm of the melody also sped up.

Some people saw floating corpses on the sea and the huge cruise ship gradually sinking. Those who could not escape were trapped forever in the narrow cabins.

Some people saw houses collapsed after the hurricane, and people who had lost their homes and were helplessly squatting in the open.

Some people saw the charred remains of many animals in the forest after the fire, and birds cried out in despair as they looked at their burned-down homes.

Some people saw bodies being pulled from the rubble by rescue teams in the city after the earthquake.

Some people saw that the village after the flash flood was covered in mud, and they could even find livestock and even human corpses under the mud!

sad!
